Sandy Alomar Jr.’s baseball career has brought him back home. The Indians’ popular former all-star catcher has been hired by new Cleveland manager Manny Acta as the team’s first-base coach. Alomar had spent the past two seasons as a catching instructor for the New York Mets. He will also mentor Cleveland’s catchers. Alomar played 20 seasons in the majors — 11 in Cleveland — before retiring in 2007. The 43-year-old Alomar was a six-time all-star with the Indians, who enshrined him in their Hall of Fame.
